> decoupled from the horrors of an unreliable network
There's no such thing as reliable network in the world. The world is network connected, there's almost no local-only systems anymore (for a long long time now).
Some engineers dream that there's some cases when network is reliable, like when a system fully lives in the same region and single AZ. But even then it's actually not reliable and can have some glitches quite frequently (like once per month or so, depending on some luck).

- jimbokun 2y agoI believe the point is that given an unreliable network, it's nice to have access to all the data available locally up to the point when you had a network issue. And then when the network is working again, your data comes up to date with no extra work on the application developer's part.
